When Performance Matters, There Is Simply No Substitute

When you read that a company like CData offers drivers for close to one hundred different data sources, it is easy to
think that our connectors provide limited capabilities or superficial functionality. With access to so many
different applications, file formats, SaaS services and data platforms, how is it possible
to build and maintain rich connectivity with each?

Well, we do exactly that. Our product teams are laser-focused on one goal: to simplify the way you connect to data.
To do this, not only do we support an unparalleled range of enterprise-class data sources, but our drivers also
include tremendous depth - offering high performance capabilities are unmatched in the marketplace.

Just take a look at the performance comparison between the
CData Drivers for BigQuery and the Simba Drivers for Google BigQuery. The performance wasn't even close. In all of our
benchmarks our drivers were between two and three times faster for identical queries, with our drivers
being the hands down leader in speed and performance:

Results for 100,000 Rows

Results for 1,000,000 Rows

As Big Data continues to usher in a new era of analytics and cognitive computing, users are tasked with processing ever
larger datasets. Don't let 'plumbing' become a bottleneck that limits your ability to succeed.

Speed is only one measurement, however our performance speaks volumes about the depth and technical prowess embedded in all
of our drivers and data access technologies. We have published a Knowledge Base articles with the results of our testing, which
